iLEXplain: Plain legal language workshops

Do your customers understand your documents? Simple language in many contracts and legal documents has become a consumer right and a competitive advantage. Poor legal drafting has become a liability. Create clear legal documents and close the gap between your business and your clients.

The seminar costs R1995 per person (including VAT), with a 10% discount for more than one person referred by the same organisation. Bookings are on a first come, first served basis. Groups are small to ensure that the sessions are relevant to your needs. We give practical insights, rather than law lectures! We will refund you if you do not think you received value.

Outcomes

Understand how plain language law and practice affects and can benefit your organisation.

Identify unnecessarily complex language in a legal and business context.

Executive briefing

We also offer this topic in the form of a short executive briefing to help develop successful compliance programs and explain the issues to boards of directors, investors and other business stakeholders. The briefing helps executives convert compliance efforts into positive public relations and business benefits.
